1616 Go to Lioncrest Watchtower - Follow the marker on your compass. The area may be fogged on the map, so ride toward the waypoint rather than looking for a visible icon. Shai's Pendant will glow brighter as you approach.Defeat the bandits - About ten enemies occupy the courtyard. Take out the archers first since they deal damage at range and can interrupt your combos. Use light attacks (R1/RB, costs no stamina) for regular enemies and heavy attacks (R2/RT) for shielded ones. If you die, you respawn at a checkpoint right in front of the tower.Ascend the watchtower - After clearing the bandits, you need to reach the top floor. Vegetation blocks the door. You have multiple methods to clear it:

4747 Stock up on recovery items before heading to Lioncrest Watchtower. If you are underleveled, the bandit fight can be challenging. Purchase meat from Hernand vendors to restore health during combat.Fire Arrows are the easiest method to clear the vegetation blocking the watchtower door. Keep a torch nearby and nock your arrow close to the flame.The Force Palm puzzle solution is Middle, Left, Right (or 2-3-1 reading left to right). Pushing them out of order resets all three discs.Nature's Grasp is used frequently in later chapters for both traversal and puzzle-solving. Practice it on objects around the ruins before moving on.The Visione Helmet is a permanent equipment piece. You do not need to re-acquire it later. It stores memories you encounter throughout the game.
